The Emmy Goes to ... Trea Turner?

Phillies shortstop Trea Turner celebrated a Sports Emmy win with producer Jon McCann ahead of the game against Toronto in May 2025.
The Emmy recognized the documentary "The Turnaround," which highlighted the 2023 standing ovations that supported Turner during a challenging season.
Turner, who signed an 11-year contract and has played in the MLB for over a decade, was struggling offensively with a batting average below.240 and had recorded 11 home runs and 39 runs batted in when fans showed their support by cheering him during at-bats.
Producer Kyle Thrash stated "Trea Turner’s an Emmy winner, absolutely," while McCann said, "Turner, we share an Emmy together" after shaking his hand.
The Emmy win and public support suggest Turner's season turnaround resonated widely, reinforcing his connection with Philly fans and media through the documentary.
